Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 115K MILES IN MAR 2007. FELT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS. CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID TWICE IN 6 MONTHS AND NOTICED THE FLUID COLOR TO BE BROWNISH EVERY TIME AFTER LESS THAN 5K MILES. HARD SHIFTING HAS NOT GONE AWAY SINCE. THERE IS NO FAULT CODES YET BUT ONCE THAT HAPPENS I AM GOING TO BRING IN IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN JANUARY OF 2007, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. ON FEBRUARY 2, 2008, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE IT BEGAN TO BUCK. ON FEBRUARY 22, 2008, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLUID ALL OVER THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY SEAL. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED. ON MARCH 3, 2008, THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE SHE BELIEVED THE TRANSMISSION WAS DOWN SHIFTING. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. BEGINNING ON MARCH 7, 2008, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A NEW NOISE. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 04-03-08 *BF THE TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ON DECEMBER 11 AS MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, SHE HEAR A LOUD BANG (LIKE A GUNSHOT) AND NOTICED A LARGE RUBBER DISC ON OUR DRIVEWAY. NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG WITH OUR VAN. DRIVING THE VAN WAS OK BUT ANY TURNING OF THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN LOUD SCREECHING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. THE CAUSE WAS A BROKEN SPRING. NO ONE WAS INJURED WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE MY WIFE WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM HONDA IN MARCH 2001. MY CASE INVOLVES THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED BY AHMC AND THE OFFER I WAS PROVIDED BY AHMC. ACCORDING TO INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION CAMPAIGN OBTAINED FROM THE AHMC WEBSITE, IN SEPTEMBER 2002 HONDA WAS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN ODYSSEY AND PRELUDE MODELS MANUFACTURED IN MODEL YEARS 1999 ' 2001. AS A RESULT OF THIS RECALL HONDA EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 93 MONTHS OR 109,000 MILES FOR THESE SELECT VEHICLES. HAVING KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS INEVITABLE, AHMC SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE DILIGENT STRIDES TO INFORM OWNERS OF THIS PENDING FAILURE. IN FAILING TO DUE SO, AHMC SHOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION OR DELAY, RECOGNIZE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY HONDA AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS REPLACEMENT. PROVIDING FULL REPLACEMENT COVERAGE IS THE RIGHT AND JUST COURSE OF ACTION FOR AHMC. ANYTHING SHORT OF THAT LEVEL OF COVERAGE WOULD REPRESENT TOTAL LACK OF CONCERN BY AHMC FOR COMPLETE CUSTOMER SAFETY AND PROTECTION, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF THE KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD OF A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON BOTH OCCASIONS. DUE TO THE MILEAGE (111,700) I HAD TO PAY HALF THE COST FOR THE SECOND TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION. *TR

DRIVING ON I-10 BETWEEN EL PASO AND SAN ANTONIO, 200 MILES AWAY FROM ANY MAJOR TOWN, WE HAD A TROUBLE WITH OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION . IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO GO FROM 0 TO 10MILES/HR. AFTER THE CAR REACHED 30 MILES/HR,IT WORKED OK. WE HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN SAN ANTONIO, HONDA DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. BUT WE HAVE TO RENT A CAR AND FLY BACK TO PICK UP THE VAN. SINCE THEN, WE HAD 2 MORE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BY HONDA DEALERS IN LESS THAN HALF A YEAR. AFTER THE THIRD REPLACEMENT, THE CAR STILL HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AGREED BY HONDA DEALER'S TECHNICIAN, BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANY COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS AND REFUSED TO REPLACE IT . *TR

MY 2001 ODYSSEY VAN HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT. I FOUND THAT THE BROKEN RIGHT FRONT SPRING WAS THE CAUSE OF A NOISE. WHILE IN THE COURSE OF REPLACING IT, I FOUND THAT THE LEFT FRONT WAS BROKEN AS WELL, AND IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE. I SEE FROM THE OTHER INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VAN, AND THAT IT IS (OF COURSE) POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC. THE NEW SPRINGS LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE OLD ONES- THEY HAVE A PLASTIC SLEEVE OVER PART OF THE SPRING. THIS PUTS A STRESS POINT AT THE END OF THE SLEEVE. I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND IN MY OPINION, THE DESIGN OF THE SPRINGS AND THE SPRING MOUNTS, AS WELL AS THE VERY HIGH PRE-LOAD ON THESE SPRINGS, IS A RECIPE FOR FAILURE. I SAW THAT THE NHTSA STARTED AN INVESTIGATION TWO FULL YEARS AGO. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO START SAVING PEOPLE? ARE YOU WAITING FOR THE FIRST HEAD-ON COLLISION TO RESULT? I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD FORCE A RECALL AND THAT THE DEALER SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE FOR FREE WITH THE (REDESIGNED) SPRING. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY EX, I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I HAVE A ERRATIC SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS DURING DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND I SHIFT INTO REVERSE GEAR IT CAUSES A REAL HARD BANGING JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION. I SPOKE TO THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT AND THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS AN ENGINE MOUNT (WHICH I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED AT A COST OF $100.00 FOR THE PART). I ALSO WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTS AS WELL (ANOTHER $40.00 FOR PARTS). THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND I NOW DISCOVER THEY KNEW IT BY READING ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY PASSED THE WARRANTY MILEAGE EXTENSION. I THINK THERE SHOULD NOT BE A MILEAGE PLACED ON THE WARRANTY.....IT IS OBVIOUS, THIS VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW WHEN IT COMES TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HONDA OF AMERICA SHOULD REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CERTIFIED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TRANSMISSIONS IT HAS HAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING CHANGED AS DIRECTED EVERY 30,000 MILES WITH HONDA ATF FLUID SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE SUSPENSION WAS ERRATIC CAUSED BY A BROKEN FRONT COIL. AS OF JANUARY 7, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 86,138. UPDATED 03-05-08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SPRING AND THE THRUST BEARING ABOVE IT. UPDATED 03/05/08 *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSEY EX WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED AND OFTEN OPEN SLIGHTLY WHILE DRIVING, TRIGGERING THE INTERIOR BUZZER SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS OFF AND ON DURING RANDOM OCCASIONS WITH NO APPARENT WARNING OR CAUSE. THE SLIDING DOOR FUSES HAVE BEEN RESET NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM FAILS TO BE REMEDIED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN/PASSENGERS WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE, AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE SLIDING DOORS MAY FAIL TO STAY CLOSED! *CN

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO TRANSMISSIONS ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY. THE FIRST ONE FAILED AT 64,000 MILES (TORQ CONVERTER), THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 38,000 MILES (TORQ CONVERTER). THE SECOND FAILURE I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ALMOST HIT 3-4 TIMES BEFORE THE POLICE ARRIVED. I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT PANIC AND GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE. IMAGINE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY/ INTERSTATE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN A COMPANY PUT OUT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE? *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH IS NOW ON ITS 5TH TRANSMISSION AND HAS 104,850 MILES. CONTACT STATED VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 2-3 ON THE RPM GAUGE. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM..*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, IT CEASED TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS. EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IT WAS BECAUSE OF A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. THE EGR WAS REPLACED DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE. THE ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS HAD ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED A CODE DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH WAS ELECTRICAL. THE FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED. *JB

HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN POWER SIDE DOORS SHORT OUT REGULARLY AND WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. THE DOORS WILL STILL FUNCTION MANUALLY BUT REQUIRE A STRONG ADULT. YOUTHS HAVE TROUBLE OPENING THE DOORS. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND REQUIRES REGULAR VISITS TO THE MECHANIC TO KEEP THE DOORS OPERABLE. *TR

REFERENCE PE06007. 1 1/2 YEARS AGO THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING FAILED AND OUR VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME SO THIS WAS COVERED BUT APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YRS LATER AND THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THIS EVENING. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING APPEARED OK ON MARCH 28TH OF 2006 AND THEREFORE THE WARRANTY COMPANY WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND THIS COIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT THE TIME THE OTHER ONE WAS FIXED AND COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. SEE ALSO 10153819 *DSY *TR
Suspension, Dec 17, 2007
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY WAITING FOR GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN COMPLETELY WHEN A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE COIL SPRING HAD FRACTURED INTO PIECES. DRIVING THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP WAS DIFFICULT. THE CAR PULLED TO THE SIDE AND THERE WERE VIBRATIONS AND RUBBING NOISES DURING THE 1.5 MILE DRIVE. AT THE SHOP THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT BOTH SPRINGS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD FRACTURED. WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE 2ND SPRING FAILURE AND DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY OR NOT. REPAIR COST IS ESTIMATED AT $900 AND CAR WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR 4 DAYS. CAR IS BEING REPAIRED AND OLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD VIOLENTLY ONCE IT DID SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND ON JUNE 24, 2006, HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT PAID $1,092 FOR THE REPAIR, PLUS LABOR FEES. ON OCTOBER 24, 2007, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT UPSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AND WOULD SHIFT DIRECTLY INTO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1,786 FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 210,312 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,342.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE JERKED AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT UPSHIFT. WHEN IT DID, IT SHIFTED VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40-45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SURGE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,342 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 210,152.

HONDAY ODYSSE SLIDING DOORS FAIL TO OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO PULL OUT A FUSE AND RESET THE DOOR COMPUTER.

SLIDING SIDE DOORS STICK AND DO NOT OPEN PERIODICALLY. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN DURING THE 1ST YEAR WE HAD THE VAN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT IT DOES NOT ALWAYS OPEN EASILY, EVEV FROM THE OUTSIDE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, & THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SO THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2000 AND IS STILL OCURRING. *TR

MY 2001 ODYSSEY IS NOW ON ITS FIFTH TRANSMISSION; THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED FOUR TIMES. DEALER KEEPS REPLACING MY FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WITH REBUILT FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. I'M AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR ANY MORE; I'VE BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TOO MANY TIMES BECAUSE HONDA & DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO INSTALL A RELIABLE TRANSMISSION. DEALER HAS SAID IT IS FOLLOWING THE WARRANTY BY INSTALLING A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND SAYS "NEW" TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN - THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN OR CLOSE PERIODICALLY. MUCH OF THE TIME THE SLIDING DOORS ARE IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS UNSAFE AS THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK CANNOT EXIT THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER. CHILDREN ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO OPEN THEM MANUALLY. THE VAN HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BUT THE FIX IS ALWAYS TEMPORARY. THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL OR THE DOOR MOTORS WEAR OUT. IT IS HAZARDOUS TO BE UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THIS VEHICLE AS NEEDED. *JB
